Amazing Safari and Guide
We just completed an 8 day Safari Trip with Ndutu Green Explorers. We were greeted by Tom on arrival . Tom was excellent in helping us plan this trip and very professional and easy to deal with the whole way through. The standard of accommodation and food throughout our trip was top class. Tom introduced us to our driver on the 2nd day, Omar, and how lucky were we. Omar was an absolute gentleman, unassuming, extremely knowledgeable about the animals and parks and an excellent driver. Believe me you need to be on the roads and tracks we were on, we felt very safe in his hands. He even got our Irish wit, Oh Yeah !! Thank you Omar for helping us see the big 5 and the wildebeest migration and making our trip so fun and special including the Swahili lessons he gave to my daughter along the way. It truly was a memorable experience and exceeded all my expectations. Will definitely recommend Ndutu and Omar.

Provide a well organised programme and a great trip but clearly some background politics involved
We had a really great trip with Salina Adventures, saw a lot more wildlife than we were expecting and were for the most part impressed by the organisation. Henry was very good at communicating the latest updates to bookings etc. in the build up and gave us a lot of confidence in the quality of the trip before we arrived in Kenya. The hotels we stayed at were incredible and really made the trip feel like a luxury safari, so full credit to Henry for arranging those. Both of the guides we had (Peter and Simon) were good at finding the animals and were keen to take on board and adapt to our interests and what we were most keen to see and experience. Whilst there were some minor negatives to our experience (see below) the vast majority of the trip was well run and enjoyable and we would definitely recommend Salina to others, again bearing in mind the downsides below.
The only downsides were that almost none of the on-route game drives that were advertised actually happened, so worth just taking the programme Salina provides with a pinch of salt. Also, our guide was changed from Peter to Simon half way through the trip which was not communicated to us by Salina and there was clearly some politics going on it the background because both guides were then trying to take us and it was quite an unpleasant experience to be caught in the middle.

Amazing like their name
Amazing experience from beginning to the end. The agent Morris and tour guide Joseph went above and beyond to make this 12 days of safari a memorable experience that will be unforgettable. The jeep was in good condition and Joseph is an incredible guide. He made sure that we saw every animal possible. Unfortunately we couldn't see the migration crossing. They were there and we waited for two hours but they didn't cross, luck plays a factor here. My 6 yo son had a great time as well as the adults. The hotels staff were very nice and accommodating. Lovely experience that will be remembered for ever. Thank you amazing memories Safaris.

Excellent experienced safari operator
Our family of 4 had an amazing safari experience with Meru Slopes and couldn’t be happier with our choice. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish by Jerome, even when we were making last minute changes due to flight disruptions in the Middle East. We arrived late at night after several flight issues, but despite this, the driver was waiting for us and ensured another driver came out for our daughter who was diverted to an even later flight. The drivers communicated with each other, us and Jerome to ensure a difficult situation was made simple and reassured us our daughter was in safe hands as she arrived at 1 am.
We then had a day in Arusha with the same driver who picked us up, he took us around several sights and made sure we had a full but relaxed schedule.
Jerome met us and briefed us for our safari, he was very helpful and thorough.
Our safari guide Max was outstanding — extremely knowledgeable, professional. We spent 8 days exploring Tarangire, Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro, and every moment was incredible. Max always knew where to go, but more importantly when to go. He got us up early when needed, getting us deep into the parks before other visitors. At times it felt like we were the only people in the park. He gave careful consideration to our request to be environmentally conscious and observe the wildlife in an ethical way. We could not have asked for a better guide and his 20 + years of guiding experience clearly showed. Additionally, he was an expert driver on the challenging roads and we felt very safe the entire time.
Each of the accommodations were excellent - clean, comfortable with plenty of delicious food. The food was excellent and far exceeded our expectations, especially considering we were in the middle of nowhere.
Meru slopes focuses on the customer experience and Jerome’s response to any communication was extremely prompt. They clearly go above and beyond our expectations. We would 100% recommend Meru Slopes.

An absolutely perfect safari from start to finish!
We booked an 8-day private safari in northern Tanzania (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara) with Top Selected Tours and couldn't have asked for a better experience.
The booking process with Adabert was outstanding: fast and clear communication at every step, total transparency, and genuine care for every detail. When a small change to one accommodation was needed, he spotted it himself, told us immediately and found a great alternative that matched exactly what we had asked for. Every hotel and tented camp was perfectly in line with our expectations, and all payments and logistics went smoothly.
Our guide Ruben made the safari itself unforgettable. Incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife, always knowing where to be and when, patient, kind and great company throughout. Thanks to him we had amazing sightings every single day and felt in great hands from the very first moment.
The safari itself exceeded every expectation: the baobabs and huge elephant herds of Tarangire, the endless plains of the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater teeming with wildlife, and the lush greenery of Lake Manyara as a perfect final day. Landscapes and encounters we will never forget.
Everyone we dealt with was helpful and welcoming. We would recommend Top Selected Tours without hesitation, and we hope to be back in Tanzania one day!

Very helpful and well organized
Guide and cook were both amazing. Even switching plans was no problem for Kale Voyage. I enjoyed every single second of the safari. It was 6 days in total and the guide drove slowly so we where able to spot some stuff on our own. Absolute recommendation :)
